As part of the Memorial Villages, Hedwig Village is one of the most desirable close-in areas west of Houston. While the municipality doesn’t enforce deed restrictions – and therefore commercial establishments are allowed within its boundaries – it has still managed to preserve some of its old charm and perhaps develop a new one.
Though the Memorial Villages’ real estate market in general has marked fairly healthy growth over the past decade, Hedwig Village has one of the most impressive individual markets in the area. The median sales price of single-family Hedwig homes for sale peaked at almost $2,000,000 in 2015.

Like most of the Memorial Villages, older homes in Hedwig tend to sell for lower prices compared to more modern, custom-built homes. The Hedwig real estate market has another thing in common with its neighbors: a teardown trend replacing older ranch-style homes with custom-built mansions.

In the early 1900s, farms and sawmills populated the Memorial area. The village’s name itself is a nod to this early history, as it was named after Hedwig Road.
The road was named after Hedwig Jankowski Schroeder, who settled in the area in 1906 with her husband to farm. The German couple had donated a portion of their farm on which the road was built.
During the 1950s and 60s, development in the area started in earnest. The Katy Freeway’s development, along with Houston’s suburban boom, ushered in the development of upper-middle-class subdivisions along the Buffalo Bayou. Commercial establishments bloomed along the freeway. Houston was growing and was looking to extend its borders.
Along with the other 5 villages, Hedwig Village aimed to prevent annexation and preserve the area’s country-living atmosphere. The municipality was officially incorporated in December 1954 with a mayor-council form of government.
Hedwig Village is served by the Villages Fire Department and the Memorial Villages Water Authority. The city operates its own police department.
A year after the city’s incorporation, Hedwig Village adopted zoning ordinances. Unlike the other villages, Hedwig doesn’t enforce deed restrictions, instead welcoming the commercial establishments along the Katy Freeway.
Today, Hedwig Village is an interesting mix of older single-family ranch-style homes, elegant mini-mansions, award-winning schools, stores, and restaurants.
Hedwig Village is unique among the Memorial Villages for having commercial establishments within its borders. Residents have easy access to retail, entertainment, and dining options.
Opened in 1974, the Hedwig Village Shopping Center features a number of stores and is located along Katy Freeway and Mustang Lane. The Echo Lane Shopping Center, on the other side of Mustang Lane and Katy Freeway, also offers retail and dining options.
Other shopping and entertainment options are readily available and are easily accessible via the I-10. The Memorial City Mall, the CityCentre, and The Galleria are minutes away from Hedwig Village.
Golf courses and country clubs are also within easy reach. Members-only clubs like the Lakeside Country Club, the Houston Country Club, and the Houston Racquet Club are located in nearby villages.
